The Move That Zeroes In On Your ABS

Chisel a six pack, build power, and improve your athleticism with this explosive med-ball situp

Jul 24, 2013

Situps work your six-pack muscles. However, you can score a bullet-proof core and gain laser-like precision in any sport by adding a medicine-ball throw to the move. "Power and speed are dangerous without control," says David Jack, owner of ActivPrayer in Phoenix, Arizona and creator of 30 Days to Ripped. Imagine a hockey player shooting a puck. He can hit it hard and fast, but without accuracy the shot won't go anywhere near the goal. The med-ball situp throw not only works your core like a classic situp, but it also teaches you accuracy and increases your athleticism. Aiming for a spot on the wall or your partner's chest forces you to control the direction and intensity of the ball. Ready to try it? Watch the video below to see how to do the med-ball situp throw with perfect form.
